A Fantastic War Movie!

Rating: Null/10 (30 December 2007)

The Longest Day stars just about every big name of the 1960's. It was the most expensive back and white film until Schindler's List came along.
The attention to detail is excellent. It shows the true horrors of the D-Day Landings and the sacrifices and struggles those men went through.
The idea of showing both sides makes it a unique piece of work. Usually we are used to just seeing the Americans and the British. However in The Longest Day we get to see the successes, failures, struggles and victories of both sides.
You are bound to find an actor you like. Every big name at that time makes an appearance. Look out for, John Wayne, Gert Frobe, Curt Jurgens, Kenneth More and a very young an unknown Sean Connery.
If you enjoy war movies, then The Longest Day is for you!
Thanks for reading.
